The face that was familiar is no more
The image in my mind has faded now
You seem as distant as a falling star.
When you died,I felt my own heart tear.
If such pain and suffering allowed?
The face that was familiar is no more.
Can the well of tears help the repair
Who will help me comfort me somehow?
You seem as distant as a falling star
Let the mourning people hear your prayer.
Help them from the lake in case they drown
The face that was familiar is no more.
In Blythburgh church we saw the angels stare.
Lift me up or I shall see them frown
As icy cold as any falling star
Before the Lord all beings need to bow.
I feel with love my heart is well endowed.
The face that was familiar is no more.
I will look up up.and see the host of stars.
How my heart sings
